■ Notes for Residents and Travelers
· Refuse parcels if someone you don't know asks you to receive or send them on their behalf — they could make you a person of interest in an investigation under your name.
· If an international parcel you did not order arrives in your name, do not open it; check with the courier company or the police first.
